All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13166]]></link><description><![CDATA[And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The new building will have eight classrooms, with a faculty lounge, offices and a library.

In forgetfulness, not indulgence, of the self. In escape from sensual appetites, not in their satisfaction We live in a dark, self-enclosed prison, which is all we see or know if our glance is fixed ever downward. To lift it upward, becoming aware of the wide, luminous universe outside -- this alone is happiness. At its highest level, such happiness is the ecstasy that mystics have inadequately described At more humdrum levels, it is human love; the delights and beauties of our dear earth, its colors and shapes and sounds; the enchantment of understanding and laughing, and all other exercise of such faculties as we possess; the marvel of the meaning of everything, fitfully glimpsed, inadequately expounded, but ever present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63751]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to watch your mind all the time or you'll awaken and find a strange picture on your press. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52249]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to watch your mind all the time or you'll awaken and find a strange picture on your press.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A court is a place where what was confused before becomes more unsettled than ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23662]]></link><description><![CDATA[A court is a place where what was confused before becomes more unsettled than ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60165]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark.

He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54098]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This night I hold an old accustomed feast, Whereto I have invited many a guest,  Such as I love; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15594]]></link><description><![CDATA[This night I hold an old accustomed feast, Whereto I have invited many a guest,  Such as I love; and you among the store,   One more, most welcome, makes my number more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June,  That to the sleeping woods all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4918]]></link><description><![CDATA[A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June,  That to the sleeping woods all night   Singeth a quiet tune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can one desire too much of a good thing? -As You Like It.
